Default Factory Spring Isolator Question

Just installed my 2in spacer lift, the directions indicated that I should leave the factory isolators in place and install the spacers on top off/in addition to. For the front that seemed ok, but on the rear, it seems that could allow the spacer/spring to shift without a "center post" to keep the spacer centered.

by installing the spacer on top of the spring isolator on the rear, will have experience any issues?

From the directions I was given.. The coil spacers should go on first.. then the factory isolators.. But I was going to remove the factory and just use the coil spacers.. which according to the supplier can be done.. But this is all in the past. Gave the coil spacers away to an unsuspecting jeeper in NC over the weekend.

Normal installation should be... Spacer, isolator, spring.

Not to beat a dead horse but it's coil spacer, factory isolator then the spring. I just did this two weeks ago.

depends on what brand as some are different and require the spacer first then isolator and vise versa and some you don't use the isolator at all ie aev 2" spacer.
